| In via is a Latin phrase meaning “on the way” or “on the path.” At inVia we help people discover in themselves the iterative process or pathway that allows them to think clearly and insightfully, make wise and responsible decisions, and build organizations on a solid foundation of trust. We draw on the best available resources, including a time-tested model of human knowing that has been developed over the centuries by a number of great thinkers from Aristotle in ancient Greece all the way down to our own times. | |
